Age differences in post-exercise parasympathetic reactivation warrant no practice change in female runners; leaves open mechanisms and performance implications.
Does age affect the timing of parasympathetic reactivation (HF component of HRV) immediately after exhaustive exercise in female distance runners?
Parasympathetic reactivation occurs very rapidly after exhaustive exercise in female distance runners, with young runners recovering slightly faster than middle-aged runners.
